In Heneman’s 1774-1775 and Kanne’s 1779 project plans for Borselen Island, both engineers not only produced maps and ground plans but also architectural designs for the projected new buildings.

This map is part of Kanne’s 1779 plans for a new settlement on Borselen Island and the east bank of the Demerara river.
